ing paper of the beer, wine aud spirit

English and in German. speaking to
liquor men Of the prohibitonists and
their work says:
They propose 10 crush the liquor
traffic out of existence and they have
good reason to be sanguiuc OF success.
Look at their victories in Kan'as and
Iowa, at their progress in Missouri,
Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Illinois, where local option and high
license prevail. and at their steadily
growing strength in dozen other
States, such us Indiana, Ohio, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan. Minnesota and others.
Are YOU blind? Are you deaf? Are
